Good choice . Well, the latest thing I got was Rex Stout's "How like a god", but will have to read it after I finish "The Mask of Cthulhu"

6th fontana ghost book plus Tarzan the Invicible, early four square. Have about ten copies of the Tarzan in various editions but fell for the usual inability to walk past four squares.

Just picked up these today. I've never seen the Panther Lovecraft: A Look Behind the Mythos before.  Panther, 1975  Ballantine, 1971  Love the October Country - this is Ace, 1961. Sadly, some banana put tape around the spine. Ace must have had a UK branch in those days, hence the UK currency? |

Guy N. Smith - Song Of The South 20p. not sure if I'll read this, but I think a bit of collector mentality crept in. Also amuses me to think of a Disney adaptation being written by a man whose stock-in-trade is giant crabs & werewolves.

Mark Gatiss - The Devil In Amber >>
Bought this myself recently for I think £1.99. Am about 90 pages in - it's Gatiss on top form. I read the first book awhile back so am familiar with the character of Lucifer Box.

Got these today - .40c the pair from the Salvos.  NEL, 1973. Gotta love the banana on the cover. The Sons and Daughters of Baal rode high to Stonehenge on that Midsummer night. Johnny's black bike was sold after his trial - four times. It killed two owners and injured a third. So it was brought back to wait for Johnny's release. It's all coming together. But, there are still several loose threads in the web. Threads which are almost invisible, and might not be seen in time. Threads upon which everything depends...  Dell, 1967 - this is the 3rd printing, 1969. Contents Washington Irving, The Devil and Tom Walker Stephen Vincent Benet William Makepeace Thackery, The painter's bargain John Masefield, The Devil and the old Man Rudyard Kipling, The Devil and the deep Sea Robert Arthur, Satan and sam Shay Damiel Defoe, The friendly Demon Edgar Allan Poe, The Devil in the Belfry Nathaniel Hawthorne, Young Goodman Brown Herman Melville, The Lightening-Rod Man Guy de Maupassant, The Devil Richard garnett, Madam Lucifer Laurence Housman, Little St Michael Elizabeth Bowen, The Demon Lover John Collier, The Devil George and Rosie Betsy Emmons, Dance With the Devil |

Recently picked up these reprints of 1930s thriller writer, Mark Hansom. Fender Tucker's Ramble House has brought these out under John Pelan's Dancing Tuatara Press imprint, using the POD publisher, Lulu (or something like that). Hansom is interesting because nothing at all is known about him/her - crude and pulpy supernatural/weird menace fiction.   |

Here's one for a buck - Manly Wade Wellman, Who Fears the Devil? Star 1975 The cover looks to be based on a photo of Christopher Lee in Amicus's Jekyll and Hyde adaptation (without Jekyll and Hyde!), "I, Monster". |
